Cheap Hyundai Getz Wheel Hub

The Hyundai Getz was sold in the UK as a single generation, produced from 2002 to 2009, with a facelift introduced in 2005 that updated the styling but kept the same basic platform and running gear. For wheel hub purposes this is broadly good news, as the underpinnings remained consistent across the whole production run. That said, always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The Getz facelift arrived in 2005, so a 2004 hub comes from the pre-facelift car and a 2007 hub comes from the post-facelift version. The platform and suspension geometry were carried over into the facelift, which suggests the hubs may be the same, but whether a specific hub crosses that 2005 boundary without modification is exactly the kind of detail you should confirm with the breaker against your registration. Don't assume fitment just because both cars share the Getz name.

Engine size can matter on the Getz because larger-engined variants were sometimes fitted with slightly uprated brakes to cope with the extra power, and the wheel hub is closely tied to the brake and bearing assembly. A hub from a 1.1-litre car may therefore differ from one fitted to a 1.4 or 1.6 model. Always tell the breaker your engine size as well as your registration so they can pull the right unit.

Trim level alone does not determine which wheel hub you need on the Getz — the hub is part of the running gear, not the cosmetic specification. What actually matters is the engine size and whether the car is pre- or post-2005 facelift. When buying from a breaker the trim badge on the donor car is not something you need to match, though do confirm engine size and year as above.

Yes, always specify nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) when ordering. Front hubs in particular are handed on most cars because the stub axle and bearing carrier are mirror images of each other, and fitting the wrong side can create dangerous geometry. Confirm the side with the breaker alongside your registration and engine size.

Rear hubs on the Getz are generally less sensitive to variation than front hubs, but the same rules apply: engine size and production year relative to the 2005 facelift are the details that most influence which hub was fitted. Whether a rear hub from, say, a 2003 car will drop straight onto a 2006 car is something to verify with the breaker rather than assume. Give them your full registration and they can cross-reference the part number directly.
